Max Gawn said it how it is this morning.

More than half the season left, players are going to be playing for themselves and as a captain I would be worried because I would have no control over human nature of self preservation...

Don't worry about a game plan, get ready for individual highlights and low lights....

So, business as usual?

The club will want some changes in tactics and personnel on field. Fraser has not been wedded to Vossy's philosophies so is the best candidate.

is your comment 1st hand ?

I don't like that the club felt the need to state that the decision was mutual in the press release.

Just let the man resign with some dignity. No need to stick the knife in.

yoiu know we could have told him no a held him to his contract?

Nothing wrong with saying mutual in my eyes

FFS AFL....Have you ever throught of putting a microphone in front of the journos gobs?

I love the sound of mumbling!!!!

its ridiculuos - post game/pre game press conferences etc etc all the same

Thought the club announcement with all 3 was as good as it could be. Very respectable towards Voss.

Onwards and upwards and I’m looking forward to a player overhaul and a heavy draft focus

I thought Wright Davies and Prez spoke well and were clear on what we are doing and what can be achieved.

Interesting Fraser got the interim job over Hansen who has spent the best part of 5 years as senior assistant.

Had to be Fraser IMO. Hansen has been there the entire time Voss has - he is just as much to blame. He couldn't take over from here based on that alone, IMO.

Fraser next obvious choice given he is currently demonstrating an ability to successfully coach a side plus is unburdened by having come in to the club only recently.

Based on what Davies said, I think we can put to bed any thought Voss had lost the players (however that was already pretty clear from the way we were playing).

Ability to implement a gameplan based on transition and effective disposal seems to be the key issue (and consequently, lack of wins).

Priestly emphasised that the board and his job is to create an environment for Wright and Davies, as football people, to do their jobs. Seems clear they will have a lot of control over the search for a new coach, as they should.

You know what.... I think that could actually be good for this group.

When they play freely and and on instinct, they can be very good. It's when they start to over-think that they freeze up and play terribly.

Maybe it isn't the worst thing for our players to simply go out there and play and think of nothing else other than just what their instinct is telling them.

Could pay off nicely next year with a better system/ game plan, should some of them get some much needed confident without the fear of making a mistake.

CD is by far our most effective communicator: concise, direct, and straight to the point. No unnecessary detail, just clear messaging. A+ performance.

It was likely the reason he was re-hired because they planned for this post last season...was always going to be interim...if not full time

Did you miss Wright's near slip? Referred to Chris Davies as "CD"? Could have sworn he was about to say "C4".

Is it a coincidence that D is the 4th letter of the alphabet? Me thinks not...

Smart media response. It shuts down the question entirely.

Of course there is a list!

There may be a list but he might not want to speak to all of them .

Yeh, but they may not have put it down on paper?

Hope they will replay the livestream - only caught the end

 

[Blue Pulse]

14 wins / top 10

No, aside from little indicators in the presser. Answers about game plan and different players coming in.
